You’ve never had tiramisu until you’ve had tiramisu like this

June 1, 2018

Tiramisu is an exceptional french dessert that comes together in no time. It can be made ahead of time and left to set in the fridge while you prepare the other components for dinner. It’s name in English means “pick me up” or “cheer me up” which is fitting since it is a coffee flavoured dessert. It is made from ladyfingers that have been dipped in coffee, then layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar and mascarpone cheese- an Italian lighter and slightly sweeter version of cream cheese- then flavoured with cocoa. Nowadays, persons are switching up the game with the dessert but transforming it into cakes and even miniature versions such as the one shown in the video. Watch the full video here:

Traditionally, the shape of tiramisu is round although the biscuits have a rectangle shape. It can also be assembled in round glasses or pyramid shaped ones to show off its various layers. The addition of whipped cream or whipped eggs or both, combined with mascarpone cream cheese results in a light, thick and foamy dish. This chilled dessert overtime has experienced a number of variations such as replacing the coffee with amaretto liqueur, adding berries, lemon curd, banana slices and even beer. These variations might even be more so considered a trifle as opposed to tiramisu.

In some cases, some cooks even substitute the ladyfingers with other cakes or sweet yeasty breads such as panettone. Marsala wine, dark rum, port wine and even Irish cream can be added to the recipe as well. Especially coffee flavoured liqueurs such as Kahlua.
